Wow. I'm not saying this isn't the right call, considering Schaub can't go on Sunday. I am saying that it goes against everything we know about Gary Kubiak. Going with the untested and unknown over the known quantity, even when that known quantity looked awful against the Rams?

Wow. Share your opinion in the Comments.  Case Keenum is the starting quarterback for your Houston Texans.  Wow.
